Trenton on Thursday Of last week TO com
plete its organization commenced at Eliza

If each of the members who formed part

means a small one-the drunkards made

united in one body: and in another division
the wives Of these dnunkartls made wretch
ed through tie accursed enemy Of their

shoeless and with tattered garments and
pinched faces, it would have formed SUCH 4
street parade as the would had never wit
messed and given a much better idea Of the
trne work OF the league than could be
formed ia any other way. 1t would indeed
be an Object lesson that would teach more

the temperance lectures and efforts Of 4
dozen temperance societies in q dozen

Tins of the traffic and those vino suffer

gathered together at one tune they
would form an army 10 which the host
